2002 Bandit 600 need carb help

Hi all -- I need a way to secure the ends of the push and pull throttle cables at the carbs.  That "PLATE" part, which is part # 13565-26E00,  is no longer available anywhere (that I can find).

The tips of the throttle cables (carb side) are just hanging loose on this 2002 Bandit I bought.  Unless I can secure the ends of the cables at the carbs I'm up a creek.

Is there a workaround, or a part from another bike I might use?

Welcome to the forum.
Have you tried the local wreckers would be my suggestion.

There is one local in our area, have never visited them -- that's a darn good idea, thank you.   Neither Ebay nor Amazon have been any help.

If you have a picture od what the plate looks like its probably similar to a lot of Suzuki's from the period.
There are only a few carb manufacturers  



Is this it?

It's similar to that but a bit smaller.  Here's what I did.  Years ago I bought a 1998 Bandit 600 that also came with a parts bike.  Back in 2008 thereabouts.

So I got to thinking maybe that parts bike had carb bits on it (I still have the 1998 600, it's my daily driver, and it's why I bought the 2002 600 that I'm working on fixing).

It took me 2 days of digging through storage.  I finally located the parts bike stuff and found carbs that looked similar to my 2002 with the cable tower on those carbs -- voila it is now on my 2002 carbs.  Got lucky.  Failing that I was going to head over to the motorcycle salvage yard and try to find a set, but I'm good to go.  Now all I have to do is figure out why I have no spark (see other post on that bit).  Thanks for the tip about the other bikes of that era maybe having usable parts.
